ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The activity noticed in the general discount market yesterday continues unabated to-day. Bankers and brokers still evince little faith in the present condition of monetary affairs, and refuse even first-class bills under 7 per cent. Con -8E(1112ntly, the Bank of England have transacted the larger amount of business brcnght forward, as the commercial pab;ic find it to their advantage to resort to the national establishment for accom modation. The Roxburgh Castle, from Melbourne, has brought £24,500. During t h e last few days there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugar has been d depressed, while th e ealings in coffee have been on a ve r y res t r i cte d Sc ale) without material change in prices. Rice, fruit, a nd spices have been without material altera tion in Value, but tallow has been in more request, a t slightly enhanced rates for both present and for Ward delivery. rr l t has been announced that the share list of the 'tadiskvall and Forssa Steam Sawing Mill Com for anY will close today for London, and to-morrow applications from the country. The British and Netherlands India Bank has been B anking u n d er the auspices of the Merchant "king Company of London. The capital is to be X 400,000, the first issue to consist of half the amount in shares of £5O each, and operations are to e xtend to I n di a, China, Japan, Australia, and the , past ern Archip e l ago . Th ese countr i es, i t i s said, 4 ate outran their existing banking accommodation, an d the necessity presses hard and severe !Pon trade in these parts for increased monetary facilities, The Aew institution proposes to meet this necessity by entering these large fields of enterprise, d also by stimulating the financial and commercial business of these countries. It will commence opera tions under promises of valuable and extensive SUPPort, and at a time when the joint stock prince niple in banking is penetrating the East. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Recites were 66f. 10c., Ltd very quiet. The markets for English stocks and shares are Still depressed and inactive. The belief that money will be further increased influences operators to sell eecurities, and hence the decline in values. No alteration, however, has occurred this morning in t he Fends, Console being 89/, 90 for money, and for the account.

TIM SCOTTISH CLERGY DISABILITIES BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were agreed to. n obody anticipates. It would be admissible, although not a source of pride, it the Government declared that over ruling circumstances rendered it impossible to execute the treaties: that their utility Was gone, and that the ground was cleared for a line of action they had hitherto debarred us from. But to connive at them, ignore them, hush them up; at one time to call them immaterial because the cants faded: has not arisen, and when it has disastrously oc curred to hang them in silence ; to pretend that we are ready to enforce the guarantee of Russian Saxony, while that of Schleswig perishes without apology before us, is inadmis sible, derogatory to the Crown and not to be encouraged by the Legislature. That course the Government will now have the opportunity of quitting. I will not detain your lordships but move for the correspondence I have asked for. Earl GRANVILLE declined to enter upon a discussion of the question whether the honour of England bad or had not been low,red by the conduct of tho Government, see ing that both housca of Parliament had recently come to a formal vote on the E ulsj e et. As to the condi , ions of the Treaty of 1862, the British Government found that the) were the only one of the contracting parties which was pre pared to adhere to its provisions, and to that extent there • fore it might be regarded as modified. Some nanarlis having been made by the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, who deprecated further discussion, and expressed a hope that there would ho no more talk about bringing the " moral influence of England" to bear upon foreign matters, •__ Lord CAMPBELL, in reply, stated that, according to De Twiss, in his well-known work on the Danish Duchies, the treaty of Kiel had revived all our former treaties of amity with Denmark. The controversy was between the President of the Council on the one hand and Dr Twiss upon the other. At thesame time, he (Lord Campbell) admitted that if the guarantees were not enforced, it was better for the country and the world they should not bo held valid, NEW ZEALAND LOAN BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of the New Zealand Guarantee of Loan Bill, which had come up with the sanction of the Commons. The Earl of MALLVIESBURY condemned the measure as one and said that if the colonies had to depend o fquestionable upontheir own unaided efforts we should hear very little more of co loni al wars. Should additional h 7l r icy , troops be required in New Zealand a portion of our Indian forces ought to be employed. Lord LYVEDEN also doubted the policy of the mea sure, but contented himself with protesting against it. The Duke of CAMBRIDJE stated that the British troops felt no disinclination whatever to the service in case they were called on to perform it. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH feared that the colony would not be able to fulfil its obligations, The Earl of DONOTIGHINIORE also protested against the policy of guaranteeing the loan, and thought it would have been better had wo made the colony a present of the money. The Earl of HARROWBY supported the bill, which was then read a second time. Several other bills were also advanced a stage—and Their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening. l'he SPEAKER took the chair at three o'cl oc k. STANDING ORDERS, Colonel W. FATTEN drew the attention of the house to the report of the committee appointed to revise the stand ing orders in reference to private bills which was presented some time back, and he moved that the house should agree to that portion of the report which provides for referees in renard to the transaction of private business. Sir J. SIIELLEY said that he did not consid er the alterations u tu thtem sa etime h e proposed would wouldn produce ot 1Y beneficial e ff e ct, bopposea them at that advanced stea) of the session. .Lord R. CECIL differed from tho hon. baronet, and supported the report. Mr S. FITZGERALD objected to the report, as an in jurious innovation, which would have the effect of depriv ing the house of its legitimate control over privets business. He trusted that the old standing orders would bo reverted to if the alterations now proposed should not prove sty:- cessful. _ _ (Amongst the alterations proposed by the new orders, it was provided that the number of members should be re duced from five to three.) Mr H. BAILLIL and Lord Flonuat objected to the pro posal, but the noble lord said he would not object to the number being reduced to four. Mr BOUVERIE considered that the jurisdiction in matters of private business should be retained, but in order to accomplisti that the pressure on members should be light ened. He consequently was in favour of the reduction pro posed. Sir E. COLEBROKE said that in his opinion a smal number of members would not command so mnch respect and confidence as a larger one, and on that ground he op posed the reduction. had been issued to the two services, of which no more than 799 were 100-pounders. It was the opinion of Admiral Halstead, a flag officer on the active list, that the British navy was without any gun or armour plated ship warfare ; while the Royal commissioners reported that the only gun we could rely upon was the old 68-pounder smooth bore. In fact, he believed we had not a gun for our ships, and it was very doubtful whether we had a gun to put on the Portsmouth forts when they were finished. He con tended, as he had always done, that the proper defence of our shores ought to be confided to the navy—and he pro tested against this system of digging holes for the pur pose of burying millions in. It was time that the home should pause in its career of reckless expenditure, and en deavour to see if it could not lay out the public money more advantageously by improving and adding to our naval defences. The Marquis of HARTINGTON disputed the conclu sion that the country was in so helpless a condition as Mr Osborne would lead the house to believe. He admitted that it had become necessary, for the reason stated by the lion, member, to abandon the site of one of the intended forts; but that circumstance involved only a slight modi fication of the original scheme for the fortifications cf Portsmouth. If delay had occurred it was very mainly attributable to the difficulties created by Mr Osborne and his friends. Wi , h regard to guns, the noble marquis entered at some length into a detailed btatement of the pro ceedings of the War-office and the Admiralty in the endea vour to supply the services with an efficient weapon ; and added that experiments with the 600-pounders bad been remarkably satisfactory, and proved' that they would do all that could reasonably be expected from them. Althonel we were not quite so advanced in respect of ordnance as he could desire, he saw no reason why, by the time the forts were completed, they should not be armed with a portion of 600-pounders at least, and the remainder of guns of smaller calibre. Referring to an unfavourable comparison which Ms:Osborne had drawn in the matter of ordnance with the French navy, the noble marquis observed that that was a subject upon which great misapprehension prevailed, for the French ships were still armed with o:d 32-pounders, which had been rifled and converted into breech-loaders, and would not carry a charge cf powder beyond eight or nine pounds. After some remarks from Captain JERVIS, in reply to Mr Osborne's reflections upon the Defence Commission, the bill was read a third time and parsed, THE INDIAN MEDICAL SERVICE BILL. On the order for reading the Indian Medical Service Bill a third time, Mr HENNESSY moved that the order be discharged, on the ground that the bill would give the Secretary of State for India the power of returning to the old system of nomination, and substituting it for the competitive system, which Parliament and the country had generally approved. Colonel NORTH seconded the motion. Sir C. WOOD explained that his object in introducing the measure was to obtain a better description of medical officers for the Indian service ; and the bill would enable the Secretary for India to avail himself, for the benefit of the native forces, of such assistant surgeons as had entered the Queen's army upon public competition, and might subse quently volunteer for the Indian army. The bill was also opposed by Mr Monsell, Mr Lysley, and Sir E. Colebrooke ; and upon a division the motion of Mr Hennessy was carried against the Government by 46 to 44. The bill was therefore lost. The Defence Act Amendment Bill and the Cranbourne street Eill were read a third time. A warm discussion arose upon the motion of Mr Villiers to go into committee on the Poor Relief (Metropolis) Bill, the object of which is to provide for the relief of the casual poor within metropolitan limits; objection being taken to the rating powers with which the measure proposes to vest the metropolitan Board of Works as contrary to their proper and legitimate functions. Upon the understanding, however, that the bill should not extend beyond the Ist of April next the opposition was withdrawn and the bill passed through committee. The Naval Discipline Bill was read a second time. Oa the order fur committing the Mutual surrender of Criminals (Prussia) Bill, Mr WHITE complained that as the convention on which this measure was founded was only concluded on the 6th of March last, it was unseemly and indecorous to in troduce such a bill at that period of the session. The con duct of Pt utsia was not of a nature to encourage the house to legislate in this way. He moved that the house should go into committee on that day month. Mr LAYARD said that the extradition powers conferred by the bill were precisely similar to those which were oonceded to France, Italy, and other states, and it had nothing whatever to do with crimes of a political character. Lord R. CECIL could not agree that the political element was excluded. What the house had to keep in view was the law of conscription, which was sometimes made the instrument for perpetrating acts of gross oppres sion where it existed. And under this bill any man in the Prussian army who might break through a barrack and escape to England would come within the scope of the bill and be liable to be returned to Prussia as a burglar. The ATTORNEY G ENE aAL explained that the crime charged against the person whose extradition was required must be one clearly understood and known to the law of England. Mr FITZGERALD said that a man might be a political refugee in this country, and having been convicted of borne crime in his absence might, under this bill, be demanded from the British Government. There ought to be a provi• sion in the bill to guard against such a conviction as that. Lord PALMERSTON stated that the treaty and the bill required that proof should be given to satisfy her Majesty that if the offence charged had been committed in this coun try it would, according to law, justify a remand. It was clear that no political offender could be claimed under the treaty, Mr J. LOCKE was opposed to straining a point in favour of Prussia, who was doing all she could to put down liberty on the Continent; and it was the duty of Parliament to guard against her invasion of our shores to seize upon political refugees. Mr FERRAND was of opinion that more time ought to be given lion members to see that the treaty was in accord ance with other extradition treaties. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that the treaty with Prussia was exactly the same as that with France, and that English judges might be safely entrusted with the execution of its provisions when embodied in an act, Mr FITZGERALD —That might be so, but the act of Parliament giving effect to the treaty was entirely different. For under the present bill a fugitive convicted of crime in Prussia might be given up on the production of an authen ticated certificate of his conviction and proof of his identity. Not one word of•that sort, however, was to be found in the French act, So far from its being identical therefore it was exactly the reverse. Sir G, GREY intimated that Mr Fi , igerald was referring to tho French act of 1843, not of 1853. Lord r.A.LMERSTON hal no 'objection, as there was some doubt with regard to the purport of the treaties, to adjourn the debate. The debate was thereupon adjourned until this day. THE VOTE OF CENSURE ON MR. LO WE.. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house, having considered the report of the select committee appointed to inquire into the practise 01 the Committee of Council on Education with respect to the reports of her Majesty's in spectors of schools, was of opinion that the resolution passed on the 12th day of April last, with reference to such re ports, ought to bo rescinded. The noble lord called upon the house to pass the resolution as an act of generosity and justice to the late Vice •President of Council for Education, who had been charged by the resolution agreed to on the motion of Lord R. Cecil with having mutilated the inspec tors' report—an allegation which the:inquiries of the select committee had shown to be at variance ‘a ith the facts. Mr HO WES, as chairman of the committee, expressed his approval of the resolution. In the discussion which followed, Mr Walter, Mr F. Powell, and Lord R. Cecil took part; the noble lord show ing that he was still of opinion that the Committee of Council were not justified in mutilating the reports of the inspectors of schools, cr in any way altering their meaning, when they were to be placed before the house; but as he had never made it a personal question affecting the honour of Mr Lowe he had no objection to agree to th• resolution. He was gratified to find, however, that it was the intention of Sir J. Pakington to direct the attention of the house to the whole question of the constitution and practice of the Education Department early in the next session. The resolution was then put and agreed to nem. con, The other business on the paper was also disposed of, and the house adjourned at twenty-five minutes to two o'cicck. CONVICTION FOR MURDER IN IRELAND.—A young man named Michael Morrison has been capitally convicted at the Mayo Assize for the murder of a sub•constable named Coulon, at Castlebar, in July, 1863. Ile was returning to his lodgings from a friend's house, on the evening of the 26th of July, when ho was attacked in a gateway by two persons, one of whom was the prisoner, who stabbed him with a knife, inflicting a fatal wound in the neck. Upon being struck, the deceased was heard to exclaim, " Oh, Lord I did I ever injure a man that I should be treated like that P" and the prisoner afterwards ex claimed, " Come on, I am after striking the with a knife I" The jury were locked up for a considerable time. When Baron Deasy returned to court they handed down a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. The screams and wailing of the prisoner's friend at the an• nouncement of the verdict were wild in the extreme. The prisoner himself wept bitterly and asked for mercy. The scene was renewed next morning, when the judge pro nounced sentence of death, to be executed on the 25th of August.

Lord CAMPBELL said—My lords, I ft - net that I shall not oppose the wishes of the house in now proceeding with my notice, in spite of that which has been given by a noble call over the way, and which opens a wider field in regard to foreign policy. I should have been inclined to with draw mine, although his was subsequently given and stands for a later day, were it not that such a course would de prive a noble marquis near me (Lord Clanricat de), long versed in these affairs, if the latest opportunity for die• cussing cur present situation. My lords, it will be easy to explain the question I propose to put, as to whether the Treaty of 1852 and the older treaties relative to S chlesNeig have any further international validity, and the motion I submit for recent correspondence on the sul ject. Accord ing to a general impression, the reverses and the losses our diplomacy has suffered impose some lino of action, or at least suggest it, to redeem our credit, to reinstate our influence, and to indemnify to the Continent to the greatest possible extent for the evils our discomfiture has so lately brought upon it. Bat until those treaties are in some degree considered and disposed of, no such compen sating lino appears feasible or offered. They bind us to uphold a past or at least an evanescent situation, and do not well admit of our being parties to a new one. They pledge us to sustain a fabric which is crumbling, and hardly seems to warrant us in building on the vacancy. At the same time, my lords, it is far from my intention to disparage them. The proposition I have hazarded— v:z , that a new line of action, if required, would rather make it logical and just to dwell upon their gravity. The clearest ground for the necessity of diplomatic and poli tical repair is that in the torrent of events we have de parted from engagements not to be denied, and hitherto held sacred. As regards the Treaty of 1852, which is so familiar, nothing need be said, except that its apparent aim is a serious disparagement to the country under whose auspices it came into existence, and by whom it has been so frequently and ineffectually ap - pealed to. The gravity of those treaties by which the Ducby of Schleswig has been guaranteed to D en mark bears far more than ono consideration. Although they date from 1720 they also date from 1814. It is a fal lacy to think that they are buried like an ancient temple in the dust which ages heap upon it. At the end of the great war the Treaty of Kiel revived and re-established them. Besides this, in 1826, Great Britain recognised and acted on treaties identical in scope, in character, and circum stances. Mr Canning, in defending the British expedition to the Tagus,stood upon two guarantees of Portugal—given, one in 1661, the other in 1703, and of which both were re established at the Treaty of Vienna. It will thus be seen by your lordships that the guarantees of Schleswig were coeval in their second birth with those of Portugal, and less remote in their original concession. The principle of Mr Canning with regard to those of Portugal went to the ex tent that the faith and hoaour of the country were involved in their observance, no matter how great the risk it might contain, no matter how doubtful er minute the British interest connected with it. Mr Canning, in his famous speech of December, 1826, was not the leafier of a party only, but the organ of an empire. The country acted on the doctrine he advanced, and took a measure which, although it ended in the quick and bloodless victory of right, might have embroiled us not only with Spain, but France, and the three despotic Powers which impelled them against Portugal. If, therefore, and the point will hardly be contested, the guarantees of Portugal and the guaran tees of Schleswig stand on the same basis, the indirect acknowledgment which the last received in 1826 was bril liant and emphatic, No English politician can see &hies wig torn from Denmark without the same regret, at least the same humiliatiun he would feel if Portugal was con quered. He must desire a compensation and a balance for a result by which the credit of Great Britain is so fajta riously altered. But the lapse of treaties ana oblivion of engagements is not the only ground for seeking a new policy. The general position of the Continent can hardly fail to offer us another. Hs cannot help observing every tendency and movement which Great Britain would desire to avert. We see France, to avoid all exaggeration, colder than she used to be. ?Ve see Russia and the German Powers obviously combining. If they were not combined, could Danmark have been trampled on ? Do you believe the German Powers would have ventured on that course had Russia actively discoun tenanced it? It they had not combined, could Poland have been cast into a deeper tomb than that which formerly com pressed her ? If they had not combined, would Austria have been detached from the path on which a year ago it was the triumph of the Foreign-office to have sot her, and from which she has relapsed into the ancient mire she had quitted? We see upon the Continent—these are facts which cannot be disputed—the objects of the country and her remonstrances despised. Let any one compare in foreign policy the Britain of 1815, or that of 1826, or that of 1841, with that of the present moment; he must to tempted to indulge in terms, which I, in order to avoid the semblance of heat, shall studiously refrain from. But what, my lords, enhances the regret adds to the desire of reparation. In any foreign capital we should hear some thing of the errors from which the situation had arisen. In Copenhagen we should hear that the despatch of Sep tember, 1862, had lent an impulse to the German move ment which never afterwaras subsided. This very day, a well-known journal has a letter from that city, alleging, what indeed we knew before, that its inhabitants attribute to that despatch the tide of evils which engulfs them. At Paris wo should be informed that the obstacles presented by Great Britain to the Congress in November had altered the alliance, had estranged the Emperor, at the vary moment when the death of the King of Denmark and the im pending crisis made such consequences doubly alarming. And will any one at present venture to assert that the latent and contingent inconveniences, which perhaps resided in the project of a Congress, outweighed the broad and pal pable calamities which its refusal has inflicted upon Europe. At St. Petersburg wo should be told of the delu sion which led our Foreign-office to count on Russia in the autumn, when our conduct on the Polish question had excited her resentment; when the Russian and the German objects were identical upon the Baltic; when the necessity and policy of Russia was to exchange support and succour both at Berlin and Vienna. In any capital the Englis4 traveller would hear that to insist upon the Conference without preliminary measures to support it was to rue into inevitable failure. It was said before the Conference began, and this will be admitted, that success alone can vindicate a measure which at the outset all the world condemns as idle for its purpose. If it is true, my lords, after a brief and unimpassioned view of what has happened, that our treaties have been sacrificed, if it is true that our objects have been baffled, and also that our errors are [ conspicuous, I venture to maintain that a desire [ must suggest itself for something in the nature of en indemnifying policy. Te rescue Denmark is assumed to be impossible. But the fragment of that kingdom can not stand alone without the territory which we have not been able to secure to it. It is hardly requisite to show that a nation composed of North Jutland and the islands, reduced in popre'lation and revenue, no longer leading on the Baltic, without a military frontier, assailable by Germany from Sles- Wig, assailable by Germany on the sea coast, and at the same time the object of its wishes, would not be able to main tain itself. Eventually it must become absorbed in Ger many, unless a Scandinavian union happens to preserve it. Both in Sweden and in Denmark a considerable party are known to lean to such an union. If the treaty of 1852 is gone, dynastic circumstances favour it. Belem now its advantages up gesto in E the urop j Europa have been with which—as stated.Bicah—s the despatches taree despatches before your lordships show—it is re garded at St, Peterelturg; What inspires that jealousy ? A Scandinavian union could not act aggressively on Russia'. Its population could not go beyond 10,000,000, while that of Russia, as your lordships well know, is 70,000,000. The jealousy arises from the fact, and only from the fact, that such an union would retard the growth of Russian power on the Baltic. While Russia menaces the East, defies the treaty of Vienna, detaches Austria from the wholesome concert in which the Western Powers doubt,h ccwot 000atdt cordially encourageha stenl tenderness onymc c tod c eyn e ebc e rte-nr d l ooap e epr rdrsdeyoshrs:promoted irt ire totoit ahsem e geed n e,auem g r oes tm i upo n etgbobfe by France our policy Scandinavianaiptinot ecl ambition y s a aot d n on not htreheocasukt Britaint p. countries e Baltic.cy o vested d Su c r h i rights, n , e to cou p l o d pu on le ly r be pursued diplomatic complications. It cou l d only be pursued by cautious steps and well-concerted movements. , But before it is denounced as visionary or irrelevant, your lordships ought to glance at tho alternative. The alternative con tains a series of intelligible evils. When Denmark lapses altogether into Germany, you have to bear the unmitigated triumph of that false and hypocritical aggression, which has shocked us; the no less complete humiliation of the power whose diplomacy endeavoured to restrain it ; the aggran disement of Russia at the Baltic, through her influence on Germany; the defencelessness of Sweden no longer fortified by Denmark ; the right of any country strong enough to kindle war in Europe when its balance had so materially altered; the general decline of public law after the blows it would receive and the encroachments it would suffer in the event I atn supposing. Bat whether or not we ought to favour Scandinavian union as the best result of the misfortunes which have happened to ourselves and to the world. Dismissing altogether such a topic, it is still essential to determine the operation of the treaties which the notice has referred to, Were it our policy to make Denmark Garman, or to sustain her weak, denuded, and dismantled in her islands, the question would not be irrelevant. No line of action seems to be legitimate until we understand the manner in which the treaties bear upon us. It would be satisfactory, no doubt, if the Government would say that they continued to acknowledge them, that combinations might be yet formed for giving them effect, that it was not too late to rescue Denmark, and recover our lianour, Such language all wvuld hail, end ROYAL COMMISSION. The discussion was interrupted by Colonel Clifford, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, summoning the members to the Upper House, to hear the Royal assmt given by commission to several bills. STANDING ORDERS. Oa the return it the Speaker and the members by whom he was accompanied, the discussion was resumed. Mr PAULL said that he could not, consistently with what he considered was due to the interests of the public, consent to a reduction of the existing numtvr of the mem bers of committees on private bills. Mr M. GIBSON objected to the alteration on practical grounds, as it would give what he considered an undue influence to the chairman. If they could secure the attend ance of three members, the case would be different, and he thought the number should not be reduced below four. After some further discussion the House divided, and the numbers were— For the reduction Against it Majority —7 Lord R. CECIL then moved that the committee should consist of four. Mr. M. GIBSON supported the amendment. The house divided on the technical motion that the committee should be composed of five. For the motion. ............. Against it ..................

Lord REDESDALE moved that the standing orders relating to private bills be dispensed with for the remainder of the session. The 'notion was agreed to. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (METRIC SYSTEM) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The Earl of DONOUGIIMORE appealed to the noble earl (Fortescue) who had charge of the bill, not to press at this period of the session. It would not, in his opinion, simplify matters, but would tend to make inexplicable con fusion. Earl GRANVILLE did not see that the peculiar period of the session should be considered as a reason for not pro ceeding with the bill. The house was well attended, and he thought they could properly consider the clauses of the measure. The principle of the bill had already been fully discussed.
